is gabe newell jewish?

Gaben mostly just wins by being a smart guy who knows his shit who also couldn't care less about chasing trends or raising stock value, because Valve remains a private company.

Valve hasn't done anything truly genius, they could easily have competition. But everyone else in the industry is so fucking moneygoblin-brained that they consistently shoot themselves in the dick chasing after fantastical bullshit ideas that no one actually likes, while Steam remains simple, stable, and doesn't get in your way. All he has to do is nothing and he wins because everyone else throws themselves off of the nearest cliff convinced they can fly.

And frankly, we got lucky with that. I think we can all agree that a timeline where EA won the gaming service war would be a darker timeline for the hobby.

Companies having to put shareholders and investors's interests above their own interests really did a number to them.
Like, does the government even understand what investment is? You accept the risk, the risk. You gave out the money because you wanted to. No one forced you to invest.
But no~~ if you invest in a company you're now entitled to decide what the fuck it does, and force it to try to make more money for you.
Its even worse when the government FORCES companies to go public.

I can't believe gabe put a gun to all those modder's and indie dev's heads and forced them to take valve's money. How terrible.

The exact opposite, he shoulders the whole faustian aryan spirit and is the true face of opposition against jewish control of culture.
Unlike rightoid grifters or the shabbos goy trump, Gaben is a white men you can trust.

He hasn't done shit for gaming in well over a decade. Valve doesn't even bother with game dev anymore because they don't need to.
All he does is sit on his ass and collect sales commissions for his $500 million superyacht. He operates exactly how a Jew would in his position if they had the monopoly he does.

basically this, the competition keeps shooting itself in the foot focusing on short term profit for shareholders and investors rather than something smaller and sustainable.

You forgot that he almost went bankrupt doing Half-Life 2 and Steam, funding Valve with his own money, almost sold his house, and Valve itself was basically one pay period from shuttering due to Vivendi kikes suing them

Good Lord that would have been terrible. That wretched company purchased and destroyed so many good game companies. I think this thread has hit the nail on the head, (public) companies with shareholder profit as the singular goal is where good things go to die. And it's not like he's a saint, either. 30% is a bit much these days, and was only reasonable when bandwidth costs ate a larger portion of that figure, ~20 years ago.

Steam was DRM created to replace the previous DRM called WON ID, that worked no problem.
He broke the fuck out of many, many mods to create a storefront and in doing so made me jump through a bunch of hoops to use a product that did not exist when I had purchased that product.
Yachts are portable Epstein islands and he has a fleet of them.
Also he's spent his entire life trying to eat all of the food despite knowing full well that food is a finite resource and other humans need it too.
OF COURSE HE'S FUCKING JEWISH.
>>
>>537363274
>ruined Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines by forbidding them to fix their broken engine and embargoing it past HL2 release
It's not Valve's issue that Activison decided to make their gold master on an unfinished engine and then released it the exact same day as HL2
As if Kotick's kikery didn't have anything to do with those stupid decisions, seethe some more fag
>>
Remember when Epic Games Store came out and had a couple of exclusives? Steam fanboys went berserk. Competition drives innovation but these zealots were out for blood. GOG does a lot for game preservation and won't steal your games, you can download the executables.
>>
>>537363864
Oh he had a hand in it too, you just can't fathom your kike hero does anything wrong.
>>
>>537363064
Who the fuck cares if he hasn't done shit. Valve provides good service, it stays as is and it just works. Besides I hope they annihilate Microsoft and Sony kikes with the Steam Machine.

He's a protestant White man, and there's nothing wrong with Valve enforcing terms on the engine that was revolutionary at the time, saved Activision a shitload of time and money, when developing the engine almost bankrupt them and preventing games developed with it from releasing before the massive game they developed the entire engine for was released
Activision making their gold master with an unfinished version of the engine was Activision's call, they knew the terms
>>
>>537361670
>the gaming service war
There was no gaming service war. It was just a steam revolution. There was no all in one storefront and then there was. Before that PC gamers didn’t know they needed one. There was never a competition, no other has ever been considered
>>
>>537361670
steam also had a head start. forcing people to use it for HL2 pissed me and other off at the time. in the end people ended up with established game libraries. I noticed that Xbox is trying to become a launcher on PC. the "app" will try to integrate your steam library, epic, gog etc
>>
>>537363998
>Valve provides good service, it stays as is and it just works
Works for what? It’s a storefront you browse like any other online store. That’s literally it.

Yes there was, there were like 20 of them, and some are stilll around, but no one uses them because they are pay to play shit
Imagine thinking EA was going to let you sell a game on their store and that give you as much exposure as their games.
Steam is the only on that did

Steam was the first to the whole online store business but they didn't really have a strong grip on the whole PC market until much later. Any other store could have easily taken over if they actually provided a better service but they all decided to go full greed with shitty service
>>
>>537365361
The key is steam organizes games within the client, and forces you to run games through their client. There is zero reason for this and it is actually worse for usability than your own file folders and executables that launch independently. But the key is it keeps you in the store. Gabe is a cool gamer bro so it’s cool. If Microsoft did it it would be antitrust

This is not true, for most people it's far more convenient to have their games listed in the steam client. It also doesn't force itself in your face every time you play games so you can play your games without ever even seeing the steam store

Valve and its Proton/SteamOS projects are unironically the best hope for saving the PC market. Windows is going to shit, but most people still consider switching to linux to be black magic. Valve is in a fairly unique position to be a trusted company that can vouch for, and maintain, a linux based OS that could then be sold to normies as a proper alternative to windows and it will "just work". The disparate linux distros and the fear of having to pop the hood on the Terminal to get things to work is what scares normies off of the OS, but Valve can mitigate a lot of those fears by being the public face.

Itch has no good games and gog only has old games. Steam is also fairly lightweight because it isn't spyware that's tracking everything you do so it doesn't affect your game performance in any way

Nobody seems to understand why Steam works even the people who just commented and obviously have used it for years but for some reason they don't remember how impacting Half-Life was for gaming. Absolute BLASPHEMY of our Lord and Savior Gaben because they don't want to admit there was not a multimedia game platform that was part social network and part software emporium.

NOT A SINGLE COMPANY managed to have that impact. It finally gave gamers a space to HAVE a cultural impact rather than just being some random hobby.

Anyone who says this is just mad it was made by Hasbro which is based in the Pacific Northwest and Hasbro has basically monopolized the general market. The team was full of gender queer queens and yes, it shows but you don't need to engage with anything. The only thing that sucks about Bawlers Gays 3 is that you have a party of 10 people and you can only command 4. You have to manually make people interact with each other to see their relationships improve. You can be an absolute skank and fuck everything thats willing but no harem ending. You can't even use your own words to convince someone in RP and the second act is one of the worst fucking storylines because some faggot lead writer needs to be shot.

>>537368263
We all know the recent shill threads about Gaben is because he slapped a Rothschild clan member who is well known for frivolous shakedown patent lawsuits in his mutilated dick
Meanwhile, Valve is forcing jewish game companies to admit their shitware doesnt work by attaching hardware specs to reviews, and nuking them by making games created in Garrys Mod 2 DRM free, and independents able to use next gen, professional grade game creation studio software with no costs (because Valve knows they will end up listing on Steam, which benefits them and they dont need to be greedy kikes)

Gabe, just wanted to say that, besides Alyx, the HL series along with TFC and CS were some of the best gaming experiences I had. I tried but I couldn’t handle the VR experience with Alex. Just thought I’d let you know

>>537364260
>forcing people to use it for HL2 pissed me and other off at the time
Surprisingly, it didn’t bother me. I was a fan boy and had played through all the expansion packs along with having already played CS/TFC for years at that point. As soon as I found out about steam I didn’t hesitate to make an account, which is saying a lot because most of the PC games I owned at the time were pirated.
